Abstract

Creating a usable system that supports users’ in-situ
control over their privacy boundaries is a challenging
problem. We propose process and data models for
providing feedback that better supports RFID users’
privacy boundary regulation. Our context-aware feedback
approach uses activity hierarchies to represent context
around the use of RFID applications and support privacy
critic agents to adapt feedback and information disclosure
processes according to users’ changing needs.
